A guy on the VTR registry has a 17 tooth front sprocket on his bike :!:

Don't forget though that the SSSarm will make a difference if it's a different length to the standard one as it will alter the the length of the wheel base. I think it is a different length, so depending if it's shorter or longer you may or may not have that problem :!:


See link below it's the 9th posting up from the bottom, a guy called Gregory Minor:-

A valid point Mike :!: That had slipped my memory for a second.

Have you measured the length of both swingarms to see what the difference is :?: If so how much :?:

Cheers,

Seeing as the SSSarm is longer Mike, you'll probably find the bigger 43 tooth sprocket won't be a problem, as far as making the front end extra light :!:
